How to Disable Guest / Multi-User Accounts on Android Lollipop

Although the introduction of Guest and Multi-User accounts to Android phones is one of the most highlighting features of Android 5.0 Lollipop, but it’s also a trouble for some users. Someone over at reddit wanted to disable multi-user accounts on his kids’ phones to not let them create separate independent user accounts that couldn’t be administered. Legit reason. And there could be quite more reasons for people to not want this feature on their Lollipop running Android phones.

Unfortunately though, there’s no easy way to do this. Up until now, nobody even digged much into it to disable the feature. So our guy from reddit, u/DiabolicallyRandom took the matter into his own hands and found a solution too. It requires root access but it gets the job done. If you’re looking to disable multi-user accounts on your phone, follow the step-by-step guide below:

@Albert B , It is so cool to know that somebody share the same feeling with me. It has been so frustrating not having guest mode or multiple user on my newly updated lollipop 5.0 Samsung galaxy Note 4.

I’m guessing that your device needs to be already rooted for the mentioned SQL… apps to work. Is this correct? Absolutely HATE Google for this kind of crap. It completely mystifies me why the andriod community is not burning Google to the ground over this stuff. I’m finished with everything Google, including their &^%$ search engine and it’s advertising ponzi scheme.
